Set in twelve lush acres just outside the glorious city of Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, C&M provides a convenient hub for any motorised scene, a hub whose spokes reach out into every subculture, group, club and clan you can imagine – from supercars to rat rods, vintage bikes to drift cars. Anything that starts with a key, is embraced.
C&M has been a destination I have longed to visit ever since I discovered their business through Instagram. When Fathers Day rolled around it seemed like the perfect opportunity to enjoy some coffee, cars, a spot of photography and a little father-son time.
One of unique aspects of C&M is the constantly evolving car park. There's always something new pulling in and parking up, keeping your view continually refreshed. Let the cars come to you!
Along with my dad, I took my trusty Canon A-1 together with a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus 400 and got creative.
Here are the results:
C&M is designed very simply as a place to go.
